The Metro Development and Housing Agency is looking to reallocate more than $7 million in federal flood aid from housing assistance to west bank riverfront plans.

A reprioritization of projects comes as Mayor Karl Dean prepares for the revitalization of the Cumberland River's west bank, with an emphasis on the 12-acre former thermal transfer plant property. He already has put about $20 million toward the project in his recently approved capital spending plan.
